UNICEF Report: Children Killed by Israel in One Day
Russell Speaks Out Against Israel’s Attacks on Gaza
In a recent statement, Russell expressed his concerns about the ongoing attacks in Gaza by Israel. He condemned the targeting of temporary shelters where children and families seek refuge, emphasizing that no place in Gaza is safe anymore.
Furthermore, Russell highlighted the negative impact of the attacks on humanitarian aid efforts, pointing out that the last humanitarian truck entering Gaza had been delayed for 16 days. He stressed the urgency of providing aid to the one million children in Gaza who have been suffering for more than 15 months.
Calling for an immediate halt to the attacks and violence, Russell urged for the reinstatement of a ceasefire. He emphasized the importance of respecting international humanitarian law, ensuring the protection of civilians, and releasing all hostages.
Russell also shed light on the alarming situation in Gaza, citing reports of hundreds of casualties, including over 130 children. He mentioned that the recent spike in child mortality is the largest seen in the past year.
As the violence continues to escalate in Gaza, Russell’s plea for peace and humanitarian assistance serves as a reminder of the critical need for immediate action to protect the lives of innocent civilians, especially children.
